Finally got ahold of a log buyer. Wasn't the friendliest dude I've ever talked to. Said if a log takes 2-3 people to wrap their arms around it...
Great, thanks for the info! Is it a pretty quick process for them to value logs?
I'm familiar with calculating BF, actually use an app called TimberTracker. But I've read that some mills pay based on scale weight. Is that uncommon?

Yep that's right where I found that info. Apparently they go by "bigness index" or something, all based on DBH, crown spread and height. I need to...
Over 4' diameter (quite large for Arkansas). The grand champion walnut of Arkansas (documented) has less than a 3' diameter. This does have barb...
Luckily, he's a furniture builder and likes wood with character (knots). We haven't agreed on a price yet, but it's gonna be well over the...
Thanks for the reply. The crack in the center is mainly just a really bad uneven cut. I think a few inches in it may not be there. My little 18"...
